‘The threat to our country is on-going: we need a long-term, committed campaign for peace’, said Dr Prem Sharma, in his keynote address to the ‘7/7 and Beyond’ conference at Bulmershe School, Woodley, Reading.
'Our greatest challenge is the lack of relationships between people of different faiths and communities in Britain’, said Rob Wilson, MP for Reading East, inaugurating the conference. Young people generally are alienated from the political process, and some from society as a whole, which leads to frustration. The impact of Government policies, including foreign policy, cannot be ignored. But young people, of all backgrounds, hold the key to the future. At the same conference Muslim leaders condemned suicide bombers and urged greater understanding of the issues their community faces. ‘But don’t wait for others’, was the overall message of the conference: ‘Each of us has a responsibility, so take the initiative and build bridges of friendship with people of different backgrounds.’ The conference was organised by South Asian Development Partnership, of which Dr Sharma is Patron, with help from JCI Reading. It brought together over 100 people from different ethnic and faith communities, who were addressed by an impressive line-up of local and national political and community leaders. Local speakers included Angus Wilson, Chairman of Wokingham District Council, Rev Dan Tyndall, Chief Constable Sara Thornton and Supt Steve Kirk of Thames Valley Police, Dr HS Bindra and Alok Sharma. The conference had a special section of teenagers from local schools, who presented their findings to the larger group. JCI Reading is pleased to announce Dr Prem Sharma as the dinner event speaker on Wednesday 13th December 2006 at 7:00pm for 7:30pm start at the Renaissance Hotel in Reading. He will also be letting us know about his life experiences on why all communities need to relentlessly strive towards peace. You are welcome to join us and meet with Dr Prem Sharma The cost of the event is £20, including a two-course meal and a coffee. Booking deadline is Monday, 11th December 2006. Please find below the booking form for further details. For any further information, please contact Taina Palhomaa on info@jcireading.org.uk or on 07790-492247
